LIMA, Peru (AP)—Bolivian President Evo Morales scored a goal in a soccer match Thursday, then slammed FIFA for imposing “soccer apartheid” on teams that play at high altitudes.

Shortly after arriving in Lima on Thursday afternoon, Morales threw on Bolivia’s green soccer jersey and headed to the alternative “People’s Summit,” convened in Lima during a reunion of Latin American and European heads of state on Friday.

Morales scored a goal to lead a squad of Bolivian expatriates to a 2-2 tie against members of Peru’s 1970 World Cup team.

“Evo! Amigo! The people are with you!” the colorful crowd shouted at the match, which ran until dusk.

In a press conference following the game, Morales said FIFA’s ban on international games at stadiums 9,000 feet above sea level amounted to “discrimination” of teams and communities living at such heights.

The Bolivian leader said he agreed to play in the game out of solidarity for teams that play at altitude and for the social, labor and Indian groups that convened the alternative summit.

The Bolivian capital of La Paz sits at 11,800 feet in the Andes.

Roman Abramovich’s millions have turned Chelsea into one of the top teams in Europe, but for all of its individual talent, not one of the club’s players makes Yahoo! Sports’ Premiership Team of the Season.

The West London club has kept the Premiership race alive until the final day of the campaign. However, none of the Blues shined brightly enough at his particular position to be granted inclusion.

Of the Stamford Bridge contingent, Michael Essien came closest at the right-back position. Since he played there only sporadically, Arsenal’s Bakary Sagna got the nod.

Predictably, Manchester United players dominated the 11, contributing four members. Three play for Arsenal and two come from Liverpool.

The only representatives from outside the Big Four clubs were goalkeeper David James of Portsmouth and Blackburn winger David Bentley, who looks to be emerging into a genuine star.

PREMIERSHIP TEAM OF THE SEASON

Goalkeeper: David James, Portsmouth. Late in his career, James is in arguably the finest form of his life, having cut out his calamitous mistakes while emerging as the most trusted stopper in the top flight. His efforts between the posts contributed greatly toward Portsmouth’s excellent season in the league and run to the FA Cup final.

Right back: Bakary Sagna, Arsenal. Sagna came off injured after 72 minutes against Chelsea on March 23 with Arsenal leading 1-0. Didier Drogba scored a minute later, and Arsenal’s title challenge slipped away from that point on. Sagna has not played since, but his impact during the first 29 games was outstanding as he fit in perfectly with the Gunners’ system in his first campaign in England.

Center back: Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United. Just a few years ago, Ferdinand was in danger of becoming a wasted talent after being banned for missing a drug test. However, he has bounced back spectacularly and put together his finest season since 2000-01, when he helped Leeds to the Champions League semifinals. Fabio Capello has been taking notice – he made Ferdinand England captain for the friendly against France.

Center back: Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United. Vidic goes about his work quietly, but he is ruthlessly effective and must go down as one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most astute purchases. Vidic is a major reason why United boasts the tightest defense in the Premiership and will continue to be an integral part of Ferguson’s plans.

Left back: Patrice Evra, Manchester United. It took Evra a couple of years to settle in at Old Trafford. This season, things clicked firmly into place. His defense and tackling – along with his ability to create havoc by making darting forward runs – makes him so effective.

Right wing: David Bentley, Blackburn Rovers. Bentley looks to be the heir apparent at this position once David Beckham’s England career ends. He has been sparkling this term. His spiky attitude and propensity to speak his mind has alienated some fans, but Bentley has the ability to back up his words. His pace and confidence make him one of the most dangerous players around.

Central midfield: Steven Gerrard, Liverpool. Gerrard just kept churning out strong performances all season long and led the Reds by example. A concern for opponents is that he still is developing his game and is a constant force both in the Premiership and European action.

Central midfield: Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal. Did he really just turn 21? The kid plays with the maturity of a 35-year-old and was the backbone of an Arsenal team that surpassed gloomy preseason predictions. He has the tenacity to be supremely effective in the Premiership and skillful enough to shine anywhere else. The Gunners have already lost Mathieu Flamini and Aleksandr Hleb, but they can’t afford to let Fabregas follow them through the door.

Left wing: Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United. With 40 goals (30 in the Premiership), Ronaldo has produced one of the most incredible individual seasons in soccer history. His genius seems to know no bounds, and he is the single most important reason why United is on course to claim the two most important pieces of silverware around. The best player in the world? Absolutely.

Striker: Fernando Torres, Liverpool. The Premiership is meant to be the toughest league in the world to adapt to, but someone clearly forgot to tell Torres. He has been sensational for Rafa Benitez’s team and has become a Liverpool legend in remarkably quick time.

Striker: Emmanuel Adebayor, Arsenal. Thierry Henry never will be forgotten at Arsenal, but Adebayor’s precision in front of goal helped lessen the impact of the legendary Frenchman’s departure. He was unstoppable in the early part of the season and ended up with a fantastic return of 30 goals in all competitions.

SAN FRANCISCO - For years, video games have been blamed for turning kids into idle layabouts who only venture off the couch to fill up on potato chips and soda.

Nintendo Co Ltd now aims to shatter that image with a game that aims to get players off the couch and lead them to stretch, shake and sweat their way to a healthy life.

"Wii Fit," which arrives on U.S. store shelves on Monday, is expected to draw new customers to Nintendo's wildly popular Wii video game console.

It is forecast to be the industry's latest blockbuster game after last month's "Grand Theft Auto 4," the criminal action title that racked up $500 million in global sales in one week.

"They'll sell everything they can manufacture," said Signal Hill analyst Todd Greenwald. "It extends the life cycle of the Wii a little bit and gets people to go out and buy another game from Nintendo."

The Wii has proven to be the runaway hit of the video game industry, thanks to its easy-to-learn motion-sensing controller, simple games and low price.

U.S. consumers bought 714,000 Wiis in April, nearly double the sales of Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 and Sony Corp's PlayStation 3 combined.

At the other end of the spectrum from "Grand Theft Auto 4," "Wii Fit" coaches players through more than 40 exercises that range from tightrope-walking to yoga stances to push-ups.

The $90 game comes with a shoulder-width "balance board" that senses tiny shifts in a person's posture and is used to control a cartoonish character on the TV screen.

It is shaping up to be the latest in a string of hits for the Osaka, Japan-based company, which has tapped a rich vein of previously undiscovered mass-market interest in gaming with the Wii and titles like "Wii Play."

"Wii Fit" has sold more than two million units in Japan since its launch late last year, and Nintendo says interest is "strong" in Europe, where it went on sale last month.

In its fourth fiscal quarter ended in March, Nintendo saw its profit jump 60 percent from a year earlier. The company is counting on "Wii Fit" to help drive growth this quarter.

Nintendo is banking that the United States, a country whose increasingly overweight population never met an exercise craze it didn't like, will be prime territory for "Wii Fit."

"The preorders were very strong across the market, really showing the breadth of demand for the product," Cammie Dunaway, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America, told Reuters.

"We're finding people ranging from core gamers excited about this as new piece of innovation, to people who have never considered a video game," Dunaway said.

The interactive nature and possibility of new games and features down the road may help "Wii Fit" avoid the fate of the innumerable health fads whose appeal fades after a few months.

"It is a perfect intersection of entertainment with health and fitness and I don't think anyone's been able to pull that off," said Geoff Keighley, host of "GameTrailers TV."

It is the latest idea to spring from the head of Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary game creator behind Nintendo's most valuable franchises, including its "Mario" and "Zelda" titles.

Often dubbed the Walt Disney of video games, Miyamoto has a knack for crafting mega-hit games out of mundane activities such as gardening .

The seeds for "Wii Fit" were planted four years ago, before the Wii had even been developed, when Miyamoto went on a diet and started graphing his daily weight. He began thinking about a game that would let people track their own body mass.

"We couldn't decide on what the next step would be and work came to a virtual standstill," Miyamoto said in an interview on Nintendo's Web site. "Until, that is, a staff member bought two scales, and found that it was pretty good fun to step on both of them at once and try to balance on them evenly."

"I don't think Wii Fit's purpose is to make you fit. What it's actually aiming to do is make you aware of your body."
